Good Lessons from Bad Women is a 70-minute, one-person play that tells the story of a good girl who longs to be a bad girl. Dorothy is stuck between Eleanor Roosevelt as the embodiment of virtue, and the delicious controversies in the lives of six other women: Mae West, Anne Bonney, Eve, Emperor Wu Chau, Elizabeth Freeman, and Mrs. Machine Gun Kelly. They are unique and often comic portraits of real women that remind us that a full life is not usually a perfect one. In addition to her numerous stage credits, Ms. Leeds has made appearances on The Tonight Show, The Today Show and Good Morning America. She is a former film critic for MSNBC and makes weekly broadcast appearances as a culture critic on KCMN television.

The ultimate in classic comedy entertainment! Oscar Wilde’s hilarious farce, The Importance of Being Earnest, or A Trivial Comedy for Serious People, comes to the Performing Arts Center in time to make spring really SPRING! A farcical comedy in which two young men-about-London, Jack Worthing and his friend Algernon, maintain fictitious identities in order to escape burdensome social obligations, that pokes fun at such serious subjects as marriage, love, and Victorian society. World famous for its many witty lines such as: “If I am occasionally a little overdressed, I make up for it by being immensely over-educated” and “In married life, three is company, and two is none,” The Importance of Being Earnest is high farce and one of the world’s most popular, enduring and light-hearted plays. Appropriate for ages 12 and up.

Thursday, June 28 – Americana Roots & Folk

Headliner: Red Molly
Opening: Steve Kirkman and Fred Gillen, Jr. of Hope Machine

Vendors open at 6:00 PM
Concert begins at 6:30 PM

Admission: FREE

Michael Ruby’s review of the opening act, Steve Kirkman and Fred Gillen, Jr. of Hope Machine, says it all, “Folk music is a beautiful thing. Hudson Valley guitar slingers Steve Kirkman and Fred Gillen, Jr. of HOPE MACHINE grasp this fact in a fundamental way; they wrap their arms around it in a big bear hug. HOPE MACHINE began as a ‘friendly tribute’ to Woody Guthrie, but somewhere along the way it became something more. It became an extension of Woody’s ideas and attitude, with Kirkman and Gillen taking the wiry little wonder’s spirit forward into the now.”

From the Boston Globe to NPR, Red Molly has been nationally praised as earning their place among elite female trios. Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner, and Molly Venter fill performances with their “tick-tight” arrangements, crystalline vocals and caramel harmonies. Red Molly’s gorgeous a cappella ballads, bluegrass-tinged folk and touch of jazzy western swing, are all done up in Red Molly’s unique stylings of three-part harmonies, signature dobro licks and inventive arrangements that will have you tapping your feet and feeling your heart strings.
